Stopped by on the way back from Rocky Mountain National Park and it is a must visit!…read more So far, all the lattes I've tried (honey bear, cherry blossom, cherry cordial) have been great. I'm usually picky about any cherry flavored bc a lot of cherry flavored products tastes too artificial. But here it's an exception! Pork Green Chili Pocket $7.5 was also delicious. Not spicy. The pork inside is chunck but tender and has a great bite to it. I would get it again. I'm planning to try their pot pies next visit! They have it available hot and ready for frozen bake at home.

Colorado Cherry Company was a fun stop and definitely worth visiting! We had already eaten…read morebreakfast, so we didn't get a chance to try one of their famous pies, but they looked delicious. We picked up a bottle of cherry wine, some cherry popcorn, and cherry honey as gifts for a family member who loves anything cherry. It was really neat to see just how many different cherry products they offer--you can tell they've gotten creative with it! The shop itself is cute, well-stocked, and opens early, which made it an easy stop during our day. They also have pet-friendly outdoor seating, which is always a bonus for us. I had a question about one of the wines, and while the younger employee helping me wasn't sure of the answer, he immediately went to ask someone else who was able to help. I always appreciate when staff take the time to find the right information instead of guessing. Plenty of parking as well! Overall, it's a charming local shop with unique products and friendly service. We'll definitely stop back next time--hopefully for a slice of cherry pie!

Babette's has to be in the running for best bakery in Colorado. The gros de sel bread - a load…read morecovered in herbs and flaky salt, with the most amazing crust and crumb - is heavenly if you love great bread! It's almost never on the menu, so good thing they always have standout regular loves - country bread and a perfect baguette are almost always available (but get there before noon!). They also have spectacular seasonal pastries, delicious foccacia with interesting toppings, a few delightful sandwiches, and standout desserts and sweet treats. It's carby heaven, whether you eat in (inside shared tables or outside picnic-style) or take everything home... and in that case I dare you not to tear into something on your drive. Don't try to come on Mon/Tues as they are closed then, and watch out for the peloton of cyclists on weekend mornings! Even if the line is long when you arrive, it moves quickly and the staff will always help you find something you'll love (or that will wow others when you deliver them a special treat from Babette's).

Food 10/10! Best foccacia I ever had (crumb worthy of Food Network segment or an Iron Chef battle)…read more I wanted one of everything but the stomach has limited capacity. Will be back (and again and again, but shhh! You should go before everyone finds out about it). People 10/10. Real, kind, generous. And with fun tidbits of conversation and humor. Ambiance: excellent for breakfast or brunch with friends, working solitary on your laptop, having a quick sandwich on the rooftop patio, or a work meeting (in-person would be nice because the velvet couches are legit). I really liked the attention to details (such as the hooks for hanging a purse under the countertop). Cool decor and the vibe is like somebody oversized den, but instagram-worthy, you know? Check out the little store; they have cookbooks, cards, adorable kitchen towels and such, preserves and so on!

I had an absolute 5-star experience at Scratch Deli and Bakery! We needed some sandwiches to bring…read morewith us into the park to give us energy for a day of hiking, and this place delivered perfectly. We ordered two different kinds of sandwiches, and both were absolutely phenomenal. The flavor was completely on point, everything was so fresh, and they make it right in front of you. The deli is run by a super cute couple, and you can tell how much care they put into their business. We happened to visit during the shoulder season, so luckily the line wasn't very long. However, I've heard from others that this place is super popular, and during the peak summer season, there is usually a line waiting right out the door, and after eating here, I can totally see why! In fact, we loved it so much that we tried to go back the very next day, but unfortunately, they were closed (they are closed two days of the week, so be sure to check their hours!). I highly recommend stopping by Scratch Deli and Bakery. It is a must-visit spot, and we will definitely be back the next time we are in town!

As we were about to enter Rocky Mountain Natl Park our first day, we knew we needed lunch to go…read more I found this place on Yelp and it had such great reviews we decided to give it a try. All of their meats are cured in house and served on their fresh baked bread each day. They are vegetarian friendly and offer vegan and gluten free options. They also offer breakfast items like burritos. Be aware their sandwiches are loaded with ingredients and big. I could only eat half of my sandwich. I do appreciate the size though as you never know how hungry you are going to be after a long hike especially in this altitude. We went with the turkey sandwich and added cheese, all kinds of toppings and a spread. These sandwiches were very tasty and all the veggies on the sandwich were so fresh. Their baked goods looked so inviting especially the cinnamon rolls. I will have to come back! Service was efficient and helpful. Parking can be a bit of a challenge when they are busy. It was the perfect stop before entering the park!

Creative Cakes I…read morefound Tasty Cakes on yelp while searching for a bakery to make my sons birthday cake. I was impressed with the work that was presented online and wanted to patronize her business. The communication between us was fairly good with the exception of a blip when there was a family emergency. Kellie was pretty nice throughout the entire process but I did feel a little like I was bothering her with questions. I figured since I paid her $115 for a 8 inch round cake, that it was okay to make sure it was being made the way I envisioned. At some point, I went to the baking section at Michael's and looked at an 8 inch pan and thought it was super tiny. I inquired about how much it would be to make it 12 inches. I've read that she charges by the slice but I was hoping that she could cut me a deal but it didn't happen. She just said that it added 'x' amount of slices and will be an additional $55. No worries, it's a business and I completely understand. My total tab on this cake was $170. We threw a few ideas around but I gave her complete freedom to do as she wished. I'm usually hands on with everything but thought it would be nice to just let an expert do their jig. When my babies big day came, the cake was nice. It was detailed and a lot of work was definitely put into it. It was just not my personal cup of tea. Nonetheless, it was a good center piece. I ordered a bubblegum cake and I wish I didn't. When I first discusses flavors I asked about bubblegum and Kellie said that kids like it. I wanted something different so I thought it was a good choice. I only cut 20% of the cake and not one person ate a complete slice. I threw a majority of the thing away the next day. I was a little disappointed. One kid asked me what flavor it was & I said, "bubblegum." In which he replied, "Oh yeah, it tastes like bubblegum...with puke in it." I'm not blaming Kellie for my flavor choice but I would have appreciated some honesty. I suggest sticking to a normal flavor. Besides the taste, the cake wasn't very moist. I believe she started to bake on Thursday for my Saturday night party since she emailed me on a Wednesday stating that she was going to get started the next day. I know the giant (Jack the Giant Slayer theme) on top of the cake was made later because the color was more vibrant and the texture was a lot better than the main cake. This is a "cottage food" business and I really wanted to love it with all my heart. I just feel that it was a little pricey for the overall experience I had. Given the type of home based business it is, I wish she could have worked out a deal with me for a bigger sized cake. I guess I just have a chip on my shoulder because I could have ordered an amazing half sheet of scrumptious Haupia or Hawaiian Paradise cake from the notorious Kings Hawaiian bakery for under $50 if I were still in California. Tasty Cakes Cakery is a great local choice if you have the money to drop on a custom cake. Kellie does great work. If I were to do it differently, I would choose a better flavor, draw out exactly how I wanted the cake to look & ask if she could bake the cake the day before. I would have loved to meet her in person but we did everything through email, postal service to send payment, and text. She also asked if it were possible to change my drop off time because her husband was playing a game someplace and wanted to watch it, which was okay with me. I was just in school at that time, so my husband was there to receive the cake without me. Anyway, sorry for the novel. I just wanted to share my experience with my yelp community. Check her out and decide for yourself :) Solid 2.5 Stars rounded up to 3 for an A-OK experience.

She made my graduation cake for massage school, my son's birthday cake this year, and I have eaten her delicious cupcakes. EVERYTHING was fantastic. She puts a lot of time and detail in to her pieces of art. I can tell she really enjoys what she does. Her prices are reasonable, especially for what you get. I will never order a cake from anyone else again.
